A 6-point socket can withstand higher torque. The 12-point socket comes in handy for those hard-to-reach fasteners or the ones you can't see all that well because the double hex configuration makes it easier to slip over a fastener without it having to line up perfectly as it does with the six-pointer.
1000V Insulated Metric Sockets for Electrical Safety and Precision Fastening
Our 1000V insulated metric sockets are designed for electricians, utility professionals, EV technicians, and industrial maintenance teams who require safe, precise fastening when working on or near energized electrical systems. These sockets are engineered for metric fasteners, which are commonly used in modern equipment and electrical applications.
Metric sockets are measured in millimeters and are essential for working on EV systems, industrial machinery, and international equipment. When combined with 1000V insulation, they provide an added layer of protection, helping reduce the risk of electrical shock while maintaining strong and accurate torque performance.
Designed for Strength and Safety
These insulated sockets provide a precise fit on metric fasteners, reducing slipping and preventing rounding or damage. Built for professional use, they deliver reliable torque transfer while maintaining electrical safety in high-voltage environments.
